Old Stuff Day....I have old stuff

I read a post over on Warhammer 39,999 and then over Dave Taylor's and the Sons of Taurus about linking and bringing attention to new readership of old posts, favorite posts, and other such things on the blogs. I started this blog in April of 2009, prior to that I started my own self promoting Forum back in April of 2006. I think its a great idea, there are lots of tremendous and possibly inspirational pieces out there that are buried and that may help people out, or just bring back to the fore-front that really cool looking stuff. These things just need unearthing once and awhile.

So since I have not been blogging all that long, I'll one up this whole thing, I have lots of old stuff to pull from, stuff sitting in my cases that haven't been seen in awhile. Pictures of stuff from buddies and in game action, again things that have not been seen in awhile. What I'll try do once a month on a Wednesday, post some of these old things, in hopes that it may inspire or allow you to point and laugh "Oh I remember that horrible old model".

So here we go.

Old Blog Post: Most Popular of posts all time. I found this interesting in that these two posts are only separated by 3 views all-time.
Skaven War Litter I: http://psychosispc-themadhouseworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/06/something-differentskaven-war-litter.html
Nurgle Infested Chaos Space Marine:

The funny thing about those two posts, is neither of them are my favorites from a post or model standpoint. Matter of fact I rather dislike that Nurgle Space Marine.


Now onto Old Models: Over the years, there have been lots of models that have I have a soft spot in my heart for, but this unit in particular is probably one of my favorites of all time, its a unit that probably put me on the map as figure of speech. It was back in 2006 at the Chicago GT, back when the Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Beastmen's bestigors were old metal models. I decided I did not like them and built this unit out of plastic beastmen gors and plastic chaos warriors. And the unit later that year was pictured in White Dwarf Issue #323.

  4. Hey thanks guys. I actually added some models to this unit about 3 years ago. Its too bad the beastmen book is so bad, I would love to bring this army back out of retirement.
